Interesting, but nothing major. If I had money sitting around, I&#39;d upgrade his test for more markers.<br /><br />About a month ago I submitted my own DNA to 23andMe. Very interesting and detailed medical results. As far as genealogical results, nothing I didn&#39;t already know. One of the things that bothers me is that I have Irish ancestry in both my maternal and paternal lines. It doesn&#39;t &quot;count.&quot; Going straight down my paternal line (father, grandather, g-grandfather, etc.) there is no Irish. Same for maternal line. I don&#39;t think enough people are aware of the limitations.Kathy Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-48329920415071079062011-05-09T09:42:17.290-04:002011-05-09T09:42:17.290-04:00Amy, I hope you&#39;re going to blog about it.

I&#39;m curious as to what the test will tell me! <br /><br />My brother&#39;s Y-DNA was amazing, we learned a lot that was of genealogical significance and connected with matches. Fingers crossed that the MtDNA is as helpful and interestingGenealogy Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-32385859598643424132011-05-09T09:30:27.869-04:002011-05-09T09:30:27.869-04:00Lorine, your timing approach was the same as mine ...Lorine, your timing approach was the same as mine in terms of swabbing.
